Company that will ruin your career

Pros

- unlimited time off - helpful colleagues in the team.

Cons

- I don't have confidence in upper-level management to make this company employee friendly. - They just live in their world believing we're doing very well compared to the market. - They keep employees in the dark not telling how the company is performing revenue-wise, profit-wise, and what are the upcoming major company goals. - This company don't know and will never understand how to keep their employees happy and stayed at this company, that's why the attrition rate is so bad here. - The hike percentage is below industry level, you will get 8% by giving your ultimate best shot all over the year. - In terms of growth, you will not feel a major improvement in your skillset after spending your two years here as the tech stack here is so bad, very complex and they are so behind the Devosp industry best practices that they need to improve a hell lot! - The company is just saving money by not opening the office and making it permanent WFH, and not making any profits either. - Please don't join this company, I am not sure why the Glassdoor rating is 4+, it should not be more than 3.

Pros

Product and compensation are good but the work culture is way behind from other top SaaS organizations in the market

Cons

1. Not a great culture fit for someone wanting to bring their thoughts to the table and build things on it. 2. Layoffs happen without proper planning

Pros

I have a hard time imagining any positives about the BrowserStack. The "positive" points are the same as any company in the area: health plan, vacation days.

Cons

Hard to know where to start. - Company and management It is a confused company, which has grown a lot in recent years, has dazzling owners who think they are superheroes. They are seen by employees in India as amazing people, but they are inexperienced and arrogant. Directors follow in their footsteps. Human resources and the finance department are a joke. - Technology Maybe BrowserStack won't get the news like Atlassian did some time ago because it's a small, niche company. But rest assured that at some point soon things will go down seriously down there. The company's platform is supported by a thread. The core of the platform is a black hole that no one really understands. There are several hacks keeping everything working. - Day to day work It is normal for colleagues in India to work 12 or more hours a day. You start your workday at 9 am in Ireland and they are already there, in full swing. At 6 pm they are still there. And if you text at 10 pm, someone will respond within 5 minutes. There is no movement by the company's management to put order in this. Meetings are messy and disrespectful to anyone doing serious work. - Research and Development What is that? Oh, one thing you should do on weekends and holidays, of course. - Personal evaluations They are not taken seriously, the rules change all the time. Again, it seems to be a culture shock issue, which the company doesn't give a damn about solving. Irish labor laws are not considered. - Leadership Should not be questioned. Never. Ever.
